CAMBRIDGE, MASS. (WNS)— Harvard University once more demon¬ strated its old-fashioned American liber¬ alism when it struck another blow for academic freedom and tolerance by con¬ ferring honorary degrees upon Prof. Al¬ bert Einstein and Thomas Mann, two of the most celebrated exiles from Nazi Germany. In conferring thc degrees, Dr, James Bryant Conant, president of Har¬ vard University, again stamped himself as one of thc Idding libemls of thc country. It was Dr. Conant who was responsible for thc rejection by Harvard University of a scholarship offered by Dr. Ernst F. S. Ilanf.stacngl, Hitler's per¬ sonal aide and Harvard alumnus.

LAKE PLACID, N. Y. (WNS) — Pointing lo thc experiences of thc Ger¬ man Jcw.s as proof of the falsity of thc theory that cultural assimilation of thc Jews would result in thc elimination of anti-Semitism, the closing session of the annuiil meeting of the National Confer¬ ence of Jewish Social Service approved a survey committee's report recomincud- \n^ thc development and implementing of a well-planned cultural program to sitisfy Jewish needs for Jewish fellow¬ ship, scU-rcspcct, personal integration and religious orientation, Thc survey com¬ mittee's report declared that "not until a social order is established that promises economic security and social justice will it be possible for Jews to develop a com¬ munity program that shall promote i batisfactory Jewish culture which shall not be perverted by assimilationist tend¬ encies nor inhibited ' by morbid intro¬ version." Emphasizing, however, that "we cannot allow functioning of a Jcw- isji community life to be suspended pend¬ ing establishment of a Utopia," the report recoininende<l "communal school .liystcm to initiate the child into thc Jewish com¬ munity instead of a variety pf schools functioning independently aud diifering
in aim, method and organization." The report also urged that wealthy Jews should not resort to assimilation as a means of .sclfi.sh personal advancement but should recogni/e their dependence on Jcwisli communities for spiritual support and fellowship, scrap the illusion that tlicy \vill be made to feci at home in gen¬ tile society, and employ all means in their power to help fellow Jews of all classes to overcome those disabilities under which they labor because of their Jewishness.

Jacobs, dean of thc Jewish members of parliament^ told the meeting that the Canadian Government was sympathetic to Jewish immigration and that regardless of which party won in the coming elec¬ tion thc present immigration restrictions would be modified.

LABOR SCORES 2 TO 1 VICTORY IN U. S. ZIONIST CONGRESS ELECTIONS
NEW YORIC (WNS)—On the basis of nearly complete but as yet unofficial returns from the nation-wide election for delegates to thc 10th World Zionist Con¬ gress ticket number 2, representing the joint slate of the Zionist Organization of America, Hadassah and the Order Suns of Zion. With approximately 60,000 votes cast throughout the country, ticket num¬ ber 2 polled 21,032, ticket number 1 12,871, and ticket number 3, representing Mizrachi, 0,002.
On the strength of these returns the American delegation of 66 to the Zionist Congress will contain 28 Laboritcs, 15 General Zionists and 13 Mizrachists. In New Vork Gty the vote was 4,403 for l..abor, 3,612 for Mizrachi and 2,001 for the General Zionists. In Chicago Labor
polled 2,700 votes, the General Zionists 2,100 and Mizrachi 1,400. Labor also scored heavily in Philadelphia, polling 1,123 to 097 for the General Zionists and 16 for Mizrachi, The Jeivish State Party, ticket number 4, was running far behind. The most sensational feature of the election was the amazing showing of Miz¬ rachi, which ran ahead of the General Zionists in New York and Philadelphia. Another significant phase of the election was the failure of the General Zionists fo poll their full strength. Ticket number 1 re[>orted 89,000 shekels sold and polled only one-eighth that number of vot^s. Lahtir, which sold 32,000 shekels, polled 70 per cent that number of votes, Miz¬ rachi sold 13,300 shekels and polled 00 per cent that'number of votes.

Widow of Rothschild Dead
PARIS (WNS)—The house of Roth¬ schild is again in mourning as a result of the death here of the Baroness de Roth¬ schild, widow of the late Baron Edmond de Rothschild, the father of Palestine Jewish colonization, who died last No¬ vember. The Baroness was a first cousin of the. late Edmond and the mother of Maurice and James de Rothschild.
Rothenberg will deal with is a proposal affecting the structure of the Zionist Or¬ ganization of America so as to bring within its scope large sections of Ameri¬ can Jewry, and that hc will also suggest a new form of representation in the Jew¬ ish Agency to the end of making it a more effective instrument. By reason of Mr. Rothenberg's active role in the origi¬ nal formation of the Agency, what he has to say respecting any weaknesses that may have been revealed in the interim of years and recommendations for strengthening these weak links are par¬ ticularly looked forward to with interest. Among other proposals that are ex¬ pected to come forward for discussion is a project for the creation of a National "Economic Board for Palestine, for thc purpose of coordinating and expediting in a more regulated way the present de¬ velopment that is taking place in Pales¬ tine.
Other proposals of interest affecting thc internal structure of the Zionist Or¬ ganization and its general stand with respect to partisan alignment will be taken up for consideration.
A symposium addressed to the ques¬ tion of the future structure of the Zion¬ ist Organization will be participated in by noted Zionists including Elihu D. Stone, Abraham Goldberg, Rabbi Edward L. Israel, Prof. Gustave Klausner, Dr. Alex¬ ander Wolf, Max Shulman, Dr. A. M. Heller, Leo Wolfson, Rabbi A. H. Silver, Ezra Shapiro and Bernard G. -Richards. Unquestionably, great interest will be aroused by the discussion of thc platform of the American delegates to the Lucerne Congress. Thc many questions tliat are to conic up before thc forthcoming World Congress make the stand of the Ameri¬ can delegation of high importance.
The matter of fund raising for Pales¬ tinian purposes, it is expected, will come up for much debate. The point has heen raised that at present several of the funds for Palestinian purposes havc an element in them which api>ear.>^ competitive to the public. In view of thc fact that these Funds are really complementary, serving the varied purposes of the Zionist Or¬ ganization work in Palestine, the ques¬ tion has been raised if some plan cannot he worked out whereby thc objectionable features of competitive campaigns may be deleted.
Preceding the formal gathering of the convention, a meeting of thc National Executive Comniittce will be held Sat¬ urday night, presided over by Ezra Sha¬ piro of Cleveland, cliairman of the Na¬ tional Executive Committee,
The first session of the convention proper will be held Sunday morning, June 30, at 11 o'clock, with greetings from the Governor of New Jersey and other distinguished personalities, includ¬ ing thc heads of affiliated Zionist bodies, Mrs. Ro.se Jacobs, representing Hadassah, and Joseph Kraemcr, representing the Order Sons of Zion.

Mfmday morning, July 1 will be de¬ voted to meetings of the Convention Standing Committees.

With approximately 60,000 votes cast throughout the country, ticket num¬ ber 2 polled 21,032, ticket number 1 12,871, and ticket number 3, representing Mizrachi, 0,002.
On the strength of these returns the American delegation of 66 to the Zionist Congress will contain 28 Laboritcs, 15 General Zionists and 13 Mizrachists. In New Vork Gty the vote was 4,403 for l..abor, 3,612 for Mizrachi and 2,001 for the General Zionists. In Chicago Labor
polled 2,700 votes, the General Zionists 2,100 and Mizrachi 1,400. Labor also scored heavily in Philadelphia, polling 1,123 to 097 for the General Zionists and 16 for Mizrachi, The Jeivish State Party, ticket number 4, was running far behind. The most sensational feature of the election was the amazing showing of Miz¬ rachi, which ran ahead of the General Zionists in New York and Philadelphia. Another significant phase of the election was the failure of the General Zionists fo poll their full strength. Ticket number 1 re[>orted 89,000 shekels sold and polled only one-eighth that number of vot^s. Lahtir, which sold 32,000 shekels, polled 70 per cent that number of votes, Miz¬ rachi sold 13,300 shekels and polled 00 per cent that'number of votes.

Widow of Rothschild Dead
PARIS (WNS)—The house of Roth¬ schild is again in mourning as a result of the death here of the Baroness de Roth¬ schild, widow of the late Baron Edmond de Rothschild, the father of Palestine Jewish colonization, who died last No¬ vember. The Baroness was a first cousin of the. late Edmond and the mother of Maurice and James de Rothschild.
Rothenberg will deal with is a proposal affecting the structure of the Zionist Or¬ ganization of America so as to bring within its scope large sections of Ameri¬ can Jewry, and that hc will also suggest a new form of representation in the Jew¬ ish Agency to the end of making it a more effective instrument. By reason of Mr. Rothenberg's active role in the origi¬ nal formation of the Agency, what he has to say respecting any weaknesses that may have been revealed in the interim of years and recommendations for strengthening these weak links are par¬ ticularly looked forward to with interest. Among other proposals that are ex¬ pected to come forward for discussion is a project for the creation of a National "Economic Board for Palestine, for thc purpose of coordinating and expediting in a more regulated way the present de¬ velopment that is taking place in Pales¬ tine.
Other proposals of interest affecting thc internal structure of the Zionist Or¬ ganization and its general stand with respect to partisan alignment will be taken up for consideration.
A symposium addressed to the ques¬ tion of the future structure of the Zion¬ ist Organization will be participated in by noted Zionists including Elihu D. Stone, Abraham Goldberg, Rabbi Edward L. Israel, Prof. Gustave Klausner, Dr. Alex¬ ander Wolf, Max Shulman, Dr. A. M. Heller, Leo Wolfson, Rabbi A. H. Silver, Ezra Shapiro and Bernard G. -Richards. Unquestionably, great interest will be aroused by the discussion of thc platform of the American delegates to the Lucerne Congress. Thc many questions tliat are to conic up before thc forthcoming World Congress make the stand of the Ameri¬ can delegation of high importance.
The matter of fund raising for Pales¬ tinian purposes, it is expected, will come up for much debate. The point has heen raised that at present several of the funds for Palestinian purposes havc an element in them which api>ear.>^ competitive to the public. In view of thc fact that these Funds are really complementary, serving the varied purposes of the Zionist Or¬ ganization work in Palestine, the ques¬ tion has been raised if some plan cannot he worked out whereby thc objectionable features of competitive campaigns may be deleted.
Preceding the formal gathering of the convention, a meeting of thc National Executive Comniittce will be held Sat¬ urday night, presided over by Ezra Sha¬ piro of Cleveland, cliairman of the Na¬ tional Executive Committee,
